Fairly shocking how little is given to Django given how much value is taken from it. I'd have assumed a much higher number.

Revisions significantly bloat the size of the primary table (wp_posts) and secondary meta tables. Because WordPress's database architecture is hilariously simple and under-engineered, that bloat ends up slowing down every query. So, to

You don't end a trademark dispute with a blog post claiming a host utilizing a feature any sane host would utilize is a violation of some core tenant of WordPress. You end it with lawyers talking to lawyers quietly.

It sounds like Automattic was desperate for money and played a desperate hand badly. The receipts in the C&D don't leave one with a positive impression of Matt. I'll wait for Matt's response, but I can't imagine it&#

1. Roles have budgets and companies only have so much cash to pay people. 2. Raises done arbitrarily to match market rates snowball across the organization. One 20% raise is going to turn into 2, or 3. See #1. 3. "Losing time" bec

I don't think you're reading those numbers correctly. The highest crime per capita is in Alberque, New Mexico, the 32nd largest city in the US, and that list is literally the crime rates of the 100 most populated cities, not the 1

What you could say, assuming the number of shooting victims per day remained constant, was that people on that street were now 50% less-likely to be killed in a shooting. If you moved enough people onto that street, again assuming a no chan

"There's only 1 crime per square mile!" "...but there's only 1 person per square mile too." I feel like this whole "per capita doesn't matter!" parade is a recent invention of some specific corne

Minimizing both is fine. But not minimizing the one that actually measures how likely you are to be a victim of a crime is … weird.

By that logic, it would be reasonable for the government to outlaw the reporting of crime, as people would "feel" safer.

It's just a very American-centric sentiment, because here in the states, that's true.

This is what I always expected platforms would do if blockers became ubiquitous enough – make it impossible to easily separate first party and third-party content. Podcast platforms already have to do this – dynamic ad insertion is done wit

The nice part about the way Apple's doing it is that they can enforce privacy guarantees contractually – as opposed to an app model where they couldn't make the same guarantees. But also, you know, money.
